Default Volumes Unsuitable For Playback??


Hi Everyone,

I was hoping that someone could give me some insight as to why Pro Tools is giving me the message:

"169 audio files are on volumes unsuitable for playback. Would you like to copy them to a suitable volume?"

Everything was working fine a few days ago but now I'm getting this. I'm working on a huge TV show so I don't have the space/patience/time to copy it all over to another drive (and besides I'd like to figure out what's going on here). I'm running the session off of a Lacie d2 drive, is the drive locked or something?

Help me please!!!!!

Thanks.


Ryan

You need to view the drives and change the setting on the hard drive you are recording on to "R" instead of T

Somehow it gets changed everyonce and awhile. Sorry for the vague explanation, im not in front of my system right now. I will post the full steps when i get back unless someone else does it first.

you need to go into your workspace window inside pro-tools, and set all drives on your system that you wish to use with Pro-tools, to "R"

Not "T" or "P"

This is a quote from someone who helped me with the same question.
Peace.
